From a Facebook post by the Madison County, Alabama Sheriff’s Office: “Early this morning, the Alabama Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force, comprising members from the Madison County Sheriff’s Office (MCSO), Alabama Law Enforcement Agency (ALEA), Huntsville Police Department (HPD), and Homeland Security executed a search warrant at 4834 Cove Creek Dr in Brownsboro. The search warrant was the culmination of an ongoing investigation into allegations of child crimes. As a result of the investigation, John Franklin Kvach, 53, was arrested and charged with five counts of possession of child pornography and a count of dissemination of child pornography.”

“Kvach is currently being held at the Madison County Jail Facility with a total bond amount of $100,000. The investigation is ongoing, and further updates will be provided as necessary. The Alabama Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force and local law enforcement agencies are committed to identifying and prosecuting individuals who engage in illegal activities that harm children. The task force’s efforts are crucial in ensuring the safety and well-being of children in our community. Madison County Sheriff Kevin Turner would like to commend the law enforcement officers involved in this investigation for their exceptional work and dedication to protecting children from exploitation,” the post continued. What it doesn’t mention is that Kvach was formerly a professor of Southern history at University of Alabama Huntsville, per WHNT. It’s not clear if he’s a Neo-Confederate/Lost Cause type asshole but he sure fits the demographic.
